| Keefe Jackson's Fast Citizens in Boston Keefe Jackson's Fast Citizens will perform Thursday, September 6th at 8pm, at the Fraternal Order of Eagles Lodge (15 Dana Ave, Hyde Park, MA) presented by Artists-at-Large. Keefe Jackson's Fast Citizens is a Chicago group which is exploring the boundaries between composition and improvisation. Jackson, saxophonist and principal composer, formed the group in 2003. In 2004 they held a residency at Chicago's famous club the Hideout, during which time the group developed a formidable cohesiveness. Their music has broadened and even redefined the idea of a “cooperative” band. The group includes saxophonist Aram Shelton and cellist Fred Lonberg-Holm, who also compose for the group, and cornettist Josh Berman, drummer Frank Rosaly, and bassist Anton Hatwich. Ready Everyday is the first recording from the Fast Citizens, it came out in October 2006 on Delmark Records. Berman, Jackson, and Rosaly, along with Marc Unternhrer, are members of the Chicago Luzern Exchange, whose 2005 debut “Several Lights” (Delmark Records) received great critical and audience acclaim. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Jazz News :: home page |
